I used to smoke and switched to nicotine pouches to still get the nicotine fix while avoiding the harmful effects of smoking. I think there may be something to this but I'm not sure I even have POTS. In the morning, if I stand after sitting for a bit, my pulse can easily jump from 75 to around 125. It usually takes 5 minutes or more for it to drop back below 100. But, then if I sit back down it seems to rapidly go the other way into the mid 60s in less than 2 minutes. Nicotine does seem to increase my resting pulse some and reduce the big up and down fluctuations when I stand or move. And, it normalizes my BP, from my usual 95/60 range to around 110/70. Any thoughts?
